I am using EXCEL 2007 and BEx Analyser 3.5 and I am getting this error .

I have tried reinstalling EXCEL again but that is of no help.

Kindly suggest me a suitable solution to this problem. I have SAP GUI 7.20 Installed on my system.

usually installing the .NET Framework 2.0 in system will fix this , also refer the weblog by prakash below

Thanks, Sathya

I only have the problem after 7.20 installation. I already have installed NET Framework 4.0.

How could I obtain Sapsweep.exe ?

I never executed it.
